This is the kind of lesson that I've been looking for. Thank you. I want to learn how to recognize modal changes and be able to play them, so this will be in my practice rotation
Great lesson, as always! A useful follow-up could be functional voice leading from one chord to the next while still applying some/all of the rules. Maybe something for next time? Good sounding lines will come up more easily with this "trick".
You are the most wonderful and joyous and funniest,patient,insightful teacher around…I’m a singer/songwriter guitarist and love your guided practice sessions…free cheese to you!…hip hip…..Pax to the Max RR
Hey so I haven’t watched the video yet so I may not be entirely sure about what you’re confused about but I’ll try to explain some things. So let’s say we’re simply soloing in the key of C major, for simplicity sakes we’re not going to change keys. The first thing to understand is what modes exactly are, and a great way to think of them is that they are just major scales, but starting on a different note of the major scale. I’ll use an example that you might be familiar with already. So we’re in the key of C and and Am chord pops up, what notes do you play? Well you may know that Am is the relative minor of C, so you simply play all of the white notes (all of the notes of Cmaj) just starting on A instead of C (by the way the minor scale is also known as the Aeolian mode). So now let’s say a G chord pops up, what notes do you play? Just the notes of C of course, just beginning on G. This would be the Mixolydian scale. I think it is better that I explain it simply like this as to not over complicate things, because really it does not need to be too complicated. Let me know if there’s anything else you’re confused about I am happy to try and help👍
Hello guys I've been wondering what standarts I should know well (and also who's version of each one), and I figured there has to be some solid playlist out there somebody could recommend. If anybody has a playlist like that I would appreciate it so much
I like to keep it simple: PLAY IN THE KEY OF THE SONG. If the keys change or shift during the course of tune, play THAT. Simple. Use your ears and play interesting shit even if you have to copy from other people. Guys who can't read (especially the blind brothers) do this shit in real time, all the time and are not encumbered with these scale 'choices'. Bonus points if you learn the tune in other keys. I hate scale exercises and never had any use for them in all the years I've been playing, although, learning what these fucking things do does help but not by much. I can always come up with something hipper that doesn't like like a fucking algebra problem.
You don't just wake up one day with the ability to improvise. You have to do intentional practice. That's what is happening in this video. You know what practice is right?
Great livestream! 🎹 Even if you’re not versed on Holdsworth I recommend checking out the Beato interview w/ his former keyboard player Steve Hunt, at the end of the interview there’s a great acoustic piano version of an Allan tune ‘Dodgy Boat’.

This lesson is pure gold!! I've been practicing for hours since this video went live! ❤
Emmet Cohen class is great in open studio courses just thought Doing scales in 3rds and fourths and arpeggios helps
Great exercise! Played along all the way, really made me safer in transposing
This is really tough to follow for transposing instruments, but I can see the worth in the lesson. Thanks guys!
every instrument has it's challenges for sure but i feel your pain
It's tough for everyone. Slow it down until it's easy.
Great lesson, as always! A useful follow-up could be functional voice leading from one chord to the next while still applying some/all of the rules. Maybe something for next time? Good sounding lines will come up more easily with this "trick".
I’m going through the beginning scales in piano section of the site and this is a good complement.

Adam is an absolute legend, but I can't believe the RUclips algorithm interrupted the lesson and decided to show me an advert for the Ridley method!

“Come get your altered!” - love it, Adam. Great session as always. (Coming in from Las Vegas.)
My frustration got me hearing "Come get Geraldo"... Where the fucks Geraldo..?
Incredible thanks Adam!
Tremendously helpful. Thank you very much!
Very much needed for us scale runners.
❤
You can do the same with arpegio notes by all the keyboard long.
Awesome lesson!

Those chops are....sick😅
This is Bill from Waldorf Maryland
Wait you've practiced that way for 35 years!? How old ARE you!?
I think he said 46 in a recent episode. I was surprised too! Figured late 30s
He started piano already at the age of -10. That’s why he is so good. He‘s 25.

Are there sheets like this for other standards? I'm not sure what scale choices I have for All the Things You Are, especially for the minor ii V i
I always have the same stumbling block at the same place. And, I know I should stay alert but, alas.
I like to keep it simple:
PLAY IN THE KEY OF THE SONG.
If the keys change or shift during the course of tune, play THAT.
Simple.
Use your ears and play interesting shit even if you have to copy from other people.

Lots of anger here bro. Chill and enjoy some jazz

I've been studying with OS for 4 years now and never looked at other schools and "methods" again... I hope it is easy to see why...
